Toasted Almond And Vanilla Arancini Recipe

For a dessert with a very fancy name this Toasted Almond And Vanilla Arancini recipe is really quite simple, but it tastes and looks as fancy as the name implies. If you have ever been in the mood for ice cream with a little je ne sais quoi, this is your dessert. Yum yum!

This post was brought to you by Breyers.

I made these this afternoon, snacking on the ingredients, and have been dreaming about eating them all day. After polishing of his share, my husband tried to eat mine too! So I pointed him to the extra ingredients in the pantry, “Help yourself!”

Toasted Almond And Vanilla Arancini Recipe

Created by Chef Antonia Lofaso this dessert uses rich and creamy Breyers Natural Vanilla ice cream. Did you know Breyers Natural Vanilla is America’s No. 1 vanilla ice cream, and parents now have additional reasons to feel good about serving it to their family? Breyers now sources milk and cream from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones.* Somehow I think that makes the ice cream even better. Also, all Breyers vanilla is real and from sustainably farmed Rainforest Alliance Certified™ vanilla beans.

If you like almonds and ice cream, you have to make toasted almond and vanilla arancini.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Breyers Natural Vanilla Ice Cream
• 2 Tbsp. chopped toasted almonds
• 2 Tbsp. chopped toasted hazelnuts
• 1 Tbsp. crushed toasted amaretti cookies

Directions

Place 2 (1/4 cup) scoops of Breyers Natural Vanilla Ice Cream on a baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes.

Combine almonds, hazelnuts and cookie crumbs in small bowl. Coat the frozen scoops of Breyers Natural Vanilla Ice Cream in the nut mixture and freeze 5 minutes before serving. (Can be made and stored in advance.)

Toasted almond and vanilla arancini would be wonderful to serve at a party. (Surprisingly they hold up quite well when moved around. I should know I moved them a lot to photograph them!) You could make a whole tray of them, which would save you scooping time when it comes time to serve them.

Actually, now I am starting to think of other (colorful) things I could roll in Breyers Natural Vanilla ice cream too! Wouldn’t it be fun to serve a version of these with colorful sprinkles for a kid’s birthday party?

In the meantime, I think I will make a second Breyers Natural Vanilla ice cream too. They really are that good.

Breyers products are available in grocery stores nationwide for a suggested retail price of $3.99 – $5.99. For more mouth-watering recipes follow Breyers on Pinterest, Breyers on Facebook and Breyers on Twitter.
